Steering Column Bushing - Field replacement



Reading Richard R's note about his steering reminded me about the 
time I ordered a new steering column bushing to replace one that had 
failed. However, I found myself ready to go on a road trip having 
forgotten about the needed repair until last minute checks of the 
car. Rather than drive with the irritating rattle, etc., I decided 
to improvise if possible. I finally decided to cut the bushing in 
half and remove about an eighth to quarter inch section from it. 
>From inside the car, after cleaning all the old bushing remains from 
the area, I greased the new bushing pieces with silicone grease and 
installed each half with a large flat metal drift. Result, the 
steering column was nice and tight for the road trip. That was six 
or seven years ago. I know I need to do it "correctly" one of
these 
days but I'm guessing I'll forget until ?.. You know.
